Answer:
64 ounces.
Explanation:
combined weigh = weight of cat 1 + weight of cat 2
combined weigh = 17 + 12 = 29 pounds
The difference in weight of the Dog's weigh by the combined cat's weigh is the subtraction between the two, so we have:
Difference in weigh = 33 - 29 = 4 pounds
We now have to convert it to ounces, since 1 pound contains 16 ounces we can multiply the value of the weigh in pounds by 16 to obtain the final value:
Difference in weigh = (4 pounds)* 16 = 64 ounces
